Find the Right Medical Malpractice Attorneys

Learned professionals, such as doctors, are expected to practice their profession with a minimum level of competence, knowledge, and skill.

If a doctor's conduct fails to meet this standard, and this causes injury to a patient, the doctor has committed medical malpractice, and will be liable for the patient's injuries, assuming that all the relevant facts are proven in court.

Generally, medical malpractice arises when a doctor does something that no reasonable doctor would do in a similar situation. Obviously, the average judge or juror is in no position to make a determination about whether or not a doctor's conduct was reasonable, from a medical standpoint, because they don't know enough about medicine to have an informed opinion on the matter.

Finding the Right Medical Malpractice Attorneys

For that reason, virtually every medical malpractice case involves at least one expert witness, almost always a doctor in the same medical field as the defendant, who can testify about their professional opinion of the doctor's conduct. Usually, at least one expert witness is called by each side, and it will be up to a jury to determine which one they consider to be more credible. Read more.

Limitations on Medical Malpractice

It should be noted that failure to get a desired medical result does not, in itself, constitute grounds for a medical malpractice suit. After all, there are no guarantees in medicine. Things can go wrong which are beyond the control of the doctor or the patient, even if the doctor does everything right. When this happens, the patient likely does not have a good medical malpractice case.

Furthermore, in order to commit malpractice, it must be shown that the doctor did something that no competent doctor would have done in similar circumstances. Oftentimes, there is more than one possible course of action in treating a medical condition. Different doctors might have different opinions on which is the best option, but there will be a general consensus that they're all decent options. So, if a doctor testifies as an expert witness that she would have done something differently from the defendant, but acknowledges that the defendant's actions were still reasonable, the defendant will not be liable for malpractice.

As you can see, medical malpractice cases bring up a large number of complicated legal and medical issues. For that reason, if you believe you have been the victim of medical malpractice, you should not hesitate to consult with a medical malpractice attorney.

05/05/2009I hardly got my information on line and received a call from Mat, I spent about 15-20 minutes explaing what was going on with my son, and he said he would call me back the next morning. HE DID JUST THAT!!! He was very honest right up front as to what my son was facing, plus he was very honest right from the get go as to what he could answer and what he "couldm't answer. He didn't try to guess on a thing. It was all facts, and what he couldn't answer he found out and keeps in touch with me almost daily!!!
I would reccomend him to anyone in a heart beat!!!

I highly commend and recommend them. You can't do any better than winning your case in a jury trial. The jury's award to me ($604,000) was outstanding. I am so thankful to Joseph and his team. I would not hesitate to hire them again if ever needed. If you're looking for real professionals who have the experience, knowledge, and ability to win your case, look no further than JML law. I am a highly satisfied customer.

11/07/2011Mr. L. is no ordinary "Joe" and in my opinion restores long overdue dignity to his profession and I only wish I had hired him from the onset of my case. Mr. L. took the time to listen to every thing that I had to say (pertinent or otherwise) and was always very responsive. I was even shocked when he followed up with me on the weekends when he hadn't heard from me. Mr. L. is clearly very knowledgeable in employment law and never charged me a dime (he didn't even ask me pay him any money upfront) for his legal expertise. If you are in need of an employment law attorney, Joe is the only honest man for the job and I know from personal experience that he won't steer you wrong. Thank you can never adequately say enough for what he has given to me and I will always appreciate him and proud to call him my attorney.

10/20/2011It was very traumatic to loose my job, with a major bank, after fourteen years of loyal service without any type of severance package. I described my dilemma on this website and was immediately contacted by six different law firms. After meeting with two other lawyers, I hired Joseph L. to represent me in an age discrimination lawsuit. Mr. L., his associates and staff were all very helpful and understanding at all times. My case was recently settled through mediation and I feel totally vindicated both professionally and financially. I highly recommend that you hire Mr. L. if you need a superior lawyer to represent you.

Because my last job drove me nuts- literally and many more things that I face mentally, physically leading to Congestive Heart Failure today even at 37. Well, not only did this firm make me feel safe, but they did not make me feel as crazy, as I was acting. Feeling trapped in my madness ptsd. I felt they truly believed my crazy but very true extra long story and patience and understanding was unlimited. I feel so bad it took so much time to pull it all out of me, for them to even understand what happened... I'm still running in circles.. But it¿s a stronger one now with these guys.
